Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Mahanoy City, PA.

Drug and alcohol treatment programs which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Addiction treatment programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment professionals at addiction rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
